  1. Warum bekommen Unternehmensberater Zugriff auf #Whatsapp Chats? "Zwei vom Agenten befragte Personen gaben an, dass sie im Rahmen eines Vertrags mit #Accenture breiten Zugriff auf WhatsApp-Nachrichten hatten..." Echte #Privatsphäre gibt nur mit #Threema! #Meta #DeleteMeta #Zuckerberg #Datenschutz

  2. 50 Mio. Bürger mal 5.000 EUR Schadensersatz macht 250 Mrd. für uns und Zuckerberg ist nicht mehr einer der reichsten Männer der Welt. Bisher sind alle Urteile zu Gunsten der Kläger gegangen: www.test.de/Datenschutzv... Siehe auch: www.meta-klage.de #UnPlugBigTech #DeleteMeta #DeleteFacebook

  3. Back in the day, we had #deleteFacebook, #deleteMeta, #deleteWhatsApp, and so on.

    Some people heeded the call for a while, only to quietly return to Big Tech later on.

    Now, many have been jolted awake by our dependence on Big Tech, and another #quitday and other variations are gaining momentum.

    Personally, I started that journey years ago.

    - From Gmail to #ProtonMail and #Tuta
    - From Google to #Searx #Startpage #DuckDuckGo
    - From Chrome to #Brave #Mulvad and #LibreWolf
    - From MS Office to #LibreOffice
    - From Google Drive to #NextCloud and #Synology
    - From Facebook to #MeWe and #Mastodon
    - From Windows to #Linux
    - From WhatsApp to #Threema #Signal #Jami and #Matrix #Element
    - From Zoom to #Jitsi and #ProtonMeet
    - From Google Translate to #Deepl

    I’m sure I’m forgetting a few, but there’s a European and open-source alternative for every American Big Tech and closed-source application.

    What I’ve noticed is that many people are afraid of what they don’t know and therefore don’t dare to make the switch (completely).
    (Some people just don’t give a damn and convenience is all that matters)

    Any fear is unfounded, and if all of us switches en masse, Big Tech’s power will be quickly broken, and the development of alternatives will proceed much more smoothly and quickly.

  8. Vroeger hadden we #deleteFacebook #deleteMeta #deleteWhatsApp en noem maar op.

    Sommigen gaven daar even gehoor aan om later toch stilletjes terug te keren naar Big Tec.

    Nu werden velen even wakker geschud door onze afhankelijkheid van Amerikaanse Big Tec en komt er weer een #doeidag en andere varianten op gang.

    Persoonlijk ben ik die reis al jaren geleden begonnen.

    - Van Gmail naar #ProtonMail en #Tuta
    - Van Google naar #Searx #Startpage #DuckDuckGo
    - Van chrome naar #Brave #Mulvad en #LibreWolf
    - Van MS Office naar #LibreOffice
    - Van Google Drive naar #NextCloud en #Synology
    - Van Facebook naar #MeWe en #Mastodon
    - Van Windows naar #Linux
    - Van Whatsapp naar #Threema #Signal #Jami en #Matrix #Element
    - Van Zoom naar #Jitsi en #ProtonMeet
    - Van Google Translate naar #Deepl

    Ik vergeet er vast nog een paar, maar er is voor elke Amerikaanse en Closed Source toepassing wel een Europees en Open Source alternatief.

    Wat ik merk is dat veel mensen bang zijn voor dat wat ze niet kennen en daarom niet (geheel) durven over te stappen.
    (sommigen interesseerd het gewoon geen reet en is gemak het enige dat telt)

    Eventuele angst is ongegrond en als we met heel Europa massaal overstappen is de macht van Big Tec snel gebroken en verloopt de ontwikkeling van alternatieven veel soepeler en sneller.

  9. Hi Everyone!

    First, a huge thank you for the incredibly warm welcome to the Fediverse. The kindness from this community has been overwhelming, and such a contrast to the platforms I've left behind.

    Now, I've gone down a total rabbit hole investigating more ethical tech. I've just realised that if I'm deleting Meta from my life, WhatsApp should probably go too. I'd love to know what you think are the best alternatives. Signal? Matrix/Element?

  10. Hello, Fediverse 👋

    I'm Sophie. I run a digital ops consultancy from the south of France, working with values-led businesses.

    I'm in the process of leaving Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. I got tired of building on platforms that sell our data, gut safety systems to please politicians, and treat people as products.

    Still figuring it all out. Would love to connect.

  11. Wieder eine Sicherheitslücke bei #Whatsapp Ist irgendjemand verwundert? Demnächst soll man für die permanenten Sicherheitslücken auch noch 4 Euro im Monat zahlen! Welch ein "Geschäftsmodel" 🤪 "Oh wie gut das nur der Kluge weiß, daß #Threema ist sicher & heiß" #DeleteWhatsapp #DeleteMeta #MetaAI

  12. @chrisod @User47 I'm sorry, but that excuse doesn't fly.

    We have so many ways to keep in touch with friends and family members. Phone, text, and email are all convenient. None require anyone to be subjected to algorithm-favored content, ads, or the whims of a billionaire.

    I left Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter and haven't lost touch with a single person I care about. I regained hours of my time every week. I also spend a lot less time feeling angry. #DeleteMeta

  13. Mielenkiintoisin tänä vuonna lukemani kirja Facebookin täydellisestä vastuuttomuudesta (globaalisti ja omassa organisaatiossa) on Sarah Wynn-Williamsin "Careless People - A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, And Lost Idealism. A Memoir".

    Kirjoittaja meni firmaan idealistina hoitamaan sen kansainvälisiä suhteita, koitti aikansa saada asioita eettiselle tolalle ja sai lopulta potkut, kun ei ollut hiljaa pomoltaan saamastaan seksuaalisesta häirinnästä.

  14. It was one of the first apps I downloaded on my first smartphone. It was fun seeing pictures and getting to know people around the world.

    So fuck meta and facebook for destroying that. After 15 years I deleted my Instagram profile.

  15. #Zuckerberg möchte nicht, dass #Facebook User sein geschlossenes System verlassen! Nur noch 2 Links am Tag dürfen gepostet werden! Die wahre Stärke des Internets ist es, dass man Themen verlinken kann und so wissen zusammenträgt. Nicht bei #Meta = #DeleteFacebook #DeleteMeta heise.de/-11119175

  16. Earlier this summer I received a warning from Meta Quest that my 19 year old account was being used by a child.* They wanted me to confirm my age by sending them a photo of a government ID or credit card, which I was reluctant to do. Hence they suspended my Facebook, Instagram and Messenger account, I let the reactivation period lapse.

    I'm actually glad it happened, this was the push I needed to de-Facebook my life. Luckily I had already downloaded and deleted most of my data from the services.

    * I still don't know what caused this, it could be that my kids' use of a Quest headset on my account was analyzed in some way.

  17. Ahem. Break up with Meta. Stop making excuses. Just do it. I deleted my 20 year old account a year or so ago after largely not using it. Stop being the product! #deletefacebook #DeleteMeta #deleteinstagram mastodon.social/@ricmac/114829

  18. Zucky and Co sure were smart to choose the name Meta for their dumb company. Every "meta analysis" has folks wondering if it's the OG definition, or if maybe it's shoddy research conducted by spoiled tech bros. Free advertisement, even if you hate the company. Well played, shortie.

    PS: Mark Zucky is short and that really bothers him tell a friend

  19. @steko @ppdelft Wow, they make it really difficult to exercise your right of #privacy. This company has a totally wrong business model. I recommend to not use any of their services: #DeleteMeta, #DeleteFacebook, #DeleteInstagram, #DeleteWhatsApp, #DeleteThreads

  20. Imagine I posted so many WhatsApp statuses, but not even 1 USD from Meta could pay me.

    Every piece of my content is mined, and they said Facebook and WhatsApp are not boring, while those social media users, I am one of them.

    This is unfair. I'm sad.

  23. #MetaAI erkennt automatisch, wenn sich ein User bei allen Zuckerberg Diensten abmeldet. Und übernimmt dann die letzte Abmeldung von alleine. Das ist wirklich sehr "intelligent" ! ;-) #FckZck #DeleteMeta

  25. Zur Erinnerung: Die gierigen #Lügner und #Heuchler von #Amazon #Google #Meta & Co. verwüsten unsere Gemeinschaft, unser Zusammenleben, unsere #Demokratie, unsere Bedürfnisse, unsere Infrastrukturen, die #Erde und das #Weltall, vergiften und manipulieren unsere Gedanken und die unserer Kinder.

    Und wollen gerne #Atomkraftwerke bauen. Mit der Lüge "carbon free".

  27. Thoughts on Xitter

    I (sadly) still see people posting links to X here on Mastodon, even if their intentions are good. For example, if someone is trying to draw attention to something terrible posted over on Xitter, or to share an important news story that they happened to read there. (First of all though, why are they *still* using Xitter?)

    ANYWAY… even if you have the best of intentions, please stop driving traffic over to Xitter! All you need to do is either grab a screenshot and post it here, or copy the link to the *actual* story that was posted on Xitter and post *that* here.

    You can still draw attention to things that were posted on Xitter without having to drive traffic there, nor drive traffic *through* there to the actual desired news site.

    (P.S. This also applies to anything Meta. Let’s stop feeding those beasts with traffic and links. That can be siphoned off, and we can still discuss them as needed without inadvertently helping bad actors.)
